Buzzz Buzzzz (Busy busy)

I've been super busy lately:

- for some reason I have volunteered to help organise my 10 year highschool reunion. Booking a venue and trying to decide how to organise for people to pay and making sure everyone's been invited. Not really my favourite job. Regretting putting my hand up.

- Organising work in Japan in Niseko (ski resort). It seems a little different to work in Japan compared with Australia. All the jobs I'm seeing (at the ski resort at least) seem to want you to work 8 - 10 hour days 6 days a week for a really shit hourly wage. You're expected to work every day over x-mas/new years: from 22nd Dec to 10th of Jan. Not excited, I'm going to Japan to snowboard, not work everyday.

- Accommodation at ski resort. Most accommodation seems to be supplied and subsidized by your employer, which is nice. What isn't nice is that it's all dorm style. I'm too damn old to be sharing a room with a stranger/s. I like my personal space these days. I don't like partying every night. I like going to bed at a reasonable hour, especially if I'm going snowboarding the next day. If Matt and I end up having different employers, may be difficult and expensive to find accommodation where we're living together. BOO! :-(

- Organizing working VISA for Japan. Lame process. Need to have flights booked before you apply for Visa, Matt and I are getting tickets with Air Canada with a family friend of his, no real physical ticket.

- Organising road trip to Cairns. Matt wants to scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef before it dies. Fair call. I haven't been North of Brisbane. Exciting idea, just worried about money for all the adventures we want to have.

- Deciding what kind of electronics to take with me OS, mini lap top or tablet?? I wanna use it for:
upload photos from my camera, and organise them into named/dated folders
upload photos to facebook
skype
checking email
basic word processing, in case I need to send resumes out, etc.

- Staying with Matt's family for a month in Canada while he gets his holiday working Visa. It's a nice idea, I'm just worried about there not being enough space for us and the 4 cats in the basement. Plus... I REALLY don't like cats. At all. Not even a little bit.

- Where to go after Japan?!?!?!? Who knows.
